Part 3/8:
Generating explosive plays is vital to any successful offense, and the Lions excel at this aspect of the game. These big plays not only move the team into scoring position but also force defenses to adjust to the threats that Detroit poses. As defenses grow increasingly wary of the Lions' ability to make these explosive plays, they often overcommit, leaving room for deception and misdirection.
Through clever formations and strategic motions, Johnson has managed to unsettle defenders. For instance, utilizing players' speed to stretch the field challenges defensive assignments, allowing for successful passing plays—evident in the Lions’ execution of dagger concepts that leave defenders scrambling.
